Ripley Waterfowl Conservancy celebrated its 40th anniversary on Saturday,  June 28. More than 300 guests—both humans and ducks—enjoyed a gorgeous evening at the Conservancy in Litchfield with dinner, silent and live auctions, and a lively paddle raise. The record-breaking funds raised will ensure the Conservancy can build critical infrastructure to protect the rare and endangered flock from the real and ongoing threat of avian flu.—ripleyconservancy.org
